Although there is not necessarily any scientific basis. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, a considerable number of catchers believe that the use of the "afterimage" in the hitter's brain is an important basis for matching.

After seeing a slow-moving ball, the speed of the straight ball will appear to be faster. If you are accustomed to seeing a straight ball with four seams, you will make a mistake in judging other subtle changes in the speed ball system.

Or the outside corner after the inside corner will feel extra far away from you, and vice versa, the inside corner after the outside corner will also have the illusion that you are closer than you are.

All of the above are strategies that many beginners will often use.

Li Yuanrang did this in the first half of the game. And Yuma Kondo, who was a pitcher until the third year of junior high school, also followed this line of thinking.

The slow curve just now, of course, also has the intention of tricking the hitter to swing the baton to get the strikeout. But for catcher Yuma Kondo, his main purpose with this ball is to pave the way for the next ball.

Among the variations commonly used by college pitchers, the curved ball is actually the most different from the straight ball.

The trajectory of a curved ball from the moment it is shot is different from that of a straight ball. Even for many pitchers, the difference between a curved ball and a straight ball can be seen from the action of his pitching.

A large slow curveball will mobilize the player's gaze, causing the player's gaze to move up and down involuntarily with the incoming ball. In this way, there may be a slight deviation in the longitudinal space judgment of the next ball.

For Yuma Kondo, the catcher of the combined team, it is now necessary to make the next decision while the afterimage in the beater's mind is still fresh. In this way, we can maximize the effect of the ball that just played a foreshadowing role.

Kondo decided to get a high ball. According to the metaphysics of catchers, which has no scientific basis, powerful hitters always can't resist the temptation of high-level fishing balls.

Li Yuanrang is not good at playing inside corners, so the corresponding outside corner may be his favorite position. Kondo Yuma was going to attack here.

Pitcher Kenta Ohtani threw a straight ball from the middle corner according to the code and the position of the glove.

The ball looked quite easy to play at the moment of the shot, but Li Yuanrang was indifferent. The baseball goes into the base from a position one ball above the top edge of the good ball area and falls into the catcher's glove.

"This ball actually looks like a good fight, right?"

After the full number of balls was two good and three bad, Kondo Yuma behind home plate said to Li Yuanrang next to him.

"But no matter how good it looks, it's obviously a bad ball, isn't it?"

Whether it is the choice of the ball eye or the mentality when striking, Li Yuanrang's type is outside the scope of Kondo's cognition.

According to the theory of the beginner of the matching, it is probably not as effective as a direct head-to-head duel.

In fact, before the start of this game, Kondo did face Li Yuanrang with the mentality of attacking head-on. So after the opening, two consecutive goals attacked Li Yuanrang's weakness, that is, an inside corner kick.

Li Yuanrang's solid but slightly early swing second ball made catcher Kondo Yuma wary.

Since then, the pattern of the ball has become dodgy.

Now Kondo Yuma is faced with another choice.

Is it a head-to-head duel with Li Yuanrang, or is it a chance to try your luck with a inducing change ball?

Kondo opted for the former.

A tricky angle of the fastball went straight to the position where Li Yuanrang had a high inside corner.

Li Yuanrang's hands clenched the bat, but he didn't swing it in the end.

The baseball fell directly into the catcher's glove, and Li Yuanrang turned his head to look at the referee, revealing a confident face.

“Ball！”

The duel ended with the batter being escorted by four bad balls.

"This ball is actually ......"

"It's a bad ball, isn't it?"

Li Yuanrang, who put down the bat and was about to run to first base, said to Yuma Kondo, who was beside him.

Although the other party questioned the referee's decision, he did not dare to express it clearly.

Because of the inherent stadium culture, referees in college baseball have a higher authority than professional baseball. Protesting the referee's decision will not help the outcome.

Moreover, the referee of this game has a consistent grasp of the scale of good and bad balls, and does not deliberately narrow the scope of the good ball area for the above goal.

The next beater is Kazuhei Fukushima, the captain of the four batters of the Peace Academy.

The catcher of the joint team, Yuma Kondo, is now once again in a decision.

The current situation is two outs, and as long as the number of outs is obtained in any form, the offense and defense can be exchanged. However, if there is a runner on base, a second base hit can be scored by the opponent.

What's more, the legendary secret weapon, Donald Hirata, an international student from overseas, was ranked fifth. The true strength of this man is a mystery.

After several trade-offs, Kondo chose to use a slightly evasive strategy against Fukushima, but still tried to avoid creating another escort.

On the fourth ball after one good and two bad, Kondo was paired with a low ball from the outside corner, which is relatively safe according to common sense. And this is the second favorite way of Fukushima Issei after the outer corner golf.

The baseball was scooped out of the field and brushed past the misplaced stalwarts.

Ichihei Fukushima rushed to second base in one go.

And after Li Yuanrang entered the third base bag, he was stopped by Akio Yabe, who was a guest guide of the third base runner, with a gesture.

In college baseball, where there is a lack of sufficient valid data samples, catchers often have to rely on intuition to guess the type of hitter. Sometimes they even have to "judge people by their appearance".

It's not uncommon to make a mistake like this and get the ball into the opponent's favorite area.

"This ball could have gone home on home plate."

Taking advantage of Fukushima's pause to remove the striking gear, Lee said to Yabe on the third base.

"It's already two outs, so it's better to hope for Donald."

Donald Hirata, who had been molded into a secret weapon by Yabe and Fukushima with all kinds of disinformation, carefully put on a strike helmet.

He didn't want to mess with his deliberately shaped blonde hair like the brim of his hat. Therefore, it is always at the time of entering the strike zone that the helmet is officially put on.

"What do you think of RB's baseball?"

The team's catcher, Yuma Kondo, who grew up in the United States until fifth grade in elementary school, spoke to Donald in English.

"The dirt in the field of our school is black......

"It's like that in a lot of RB stadiums. But if you're lucky today, this course is a rare clay. ”

Jingu Stadium is paved with clay near the pitcher's mound and four base packs, similar to most courses in the United States.

In fact, the material of the land will not have much influence on Donald Hirata's game. His current defensive position is that of an outfielder, with nothing more than artificial or natural grass under his feet. Both of these meadows are not uncommon in the United States.

And in terms of strikes, he is a typical long-range gun. Once the ball is hit, it always flies in the air and over the infield, so naturally you don't have to worry about the difference in rebound on the dirt.

After a short conversation, the game continued.

This time the first ball was a tentative slow curveball. Kondo's intention is to observe the opponent's sniper ball and ball path.

Donald didn't hesitate to swing his bat, cleanly.

Although this swing did not produce any results, in the eyes of others, it at least showed that Donald did not have the slightest idea of not playing hockey.
